The Gomez IR Site Rankings, now in their 16th year, aim to evaluate the usability and information availability of IR websites operated by Japanese listed companies.

Companies are ranked based on an investor survey that evaluates websites from four perspectives: ease of use, availability of financial information, availability of corporate and management information, and aggressiveness and innovation in information disclosure.

Advantest's website won a Silver Medal in the rankings for three consecutive years in 2019-2021. This is the first time the company has achieved a Gold Medal.

Going forward, Advantest will continue to strive to help stakeholders understand the company by further enhancing the disclosure of financial and non-financial information, and further improving the usability of its IR website.
